Muse?

So, I don't get the big deal with the band Muse. They seem to have achieved a sort of cult, rock-star status (which is something that I don't really recall happening).

Do you view them as standing on a high rung of the hierarchy of music?

Perhaps I am missing something - it does seem like their new music has some Queen-and-U2-esque qualities to it - but I still don't see the appeal.

Although I don't mind them, I do find the singers vocals somewhat irritating at times.

Each to their own and all of that, but I guess this is one band I just cannot appreciate.

Yesterday

Lady I met on public transport yesterday:

A 74 year old woman, sweet, grandmotherly. I love talking to elderly people as they remind me of my Nan, who was just the best.

I was dripping wet and my toes were freezing! We chatted about the weather, our day's, how she smokes and was asked by a drunk for a cigarette, a man who was very appreciative of her generosity.

Aren't old people just lovely? She wished me all the best for the future after asking my name, and then we jumped on the bus - which I might add - was so old-school, like the ones I used to take to and from school as a child. I like the old buses better than the new ones, which are really open and half standing space.

The sun is out which is great. I feel like I'm getting another headache, which is not so great. Maybe it's my headband? I might take it off. In actual fact it probably has more to do with the fact that I haven't eaten today, so I might just do that now.

Ocean

It is so lovely outside, I want to go and enjoy it. I've made my mind up, however, to at least attempt to complete the task I have for today.

I just have a lot of work to do. So much to do, in fact, that I picture myself at the bottom of an ocean, with the dark water looming all around.

Knowing that I only have a certain amount of time until I will need oxygen again, I look to the surface.

I know that getting to the surface will take longer than that which I have left.

So, it seems fruitless to attempt it.

This is bearing down on my usually light-hearted soul! Mind you, it's not a life or death situation at all. Not even a detrimental one. Not in the slightest.

Fruitless, I shan't let it be! Off I go....

Minute 1

So, this is my first post. It'll be a short and sweet one, as I have literally been on here for one whole minute. I should stop procrastinating and either get on with my day

OR

go outside to enjoy the luminous sunshine (which, miraculously, appeared on the first day of spring. So far so good).

Favourite word = blossom

Because it's pretty, and they're pretty.
